A good question
deserves a clear answer.

Describe your task and choose: let Hyre find an eligible worker, or browse worker profiles and request a custom quote. Your approved price is shown before payment. Hyre is preparing its Columbus pilot; public bookings are not yet open.

Hyre checks eligible workers and sends invitations in batches. If a worker provisionally accepts, you see an anonymous suitability summary and have three hours to pay. Availability is checked again at checkout.

Yes. Browse approved worker profiles, request a quote, chat about the job and approve an itemized proposal before paying through Hyre.

The full approved total is due before the worker is cleared to travel. Searching, posting a request or opening a quote conversation does not itself charge you.

The initial Columbus pilot is focused on everyday cleaning, simple freestanding assembly and light ground-level yard care. High-risk and regulated work is not approved.

We only show check-specific verification if the check was actually completed. Worker approval, identity screening, insurance and policies are being finalized before launch.

Before payment, Hyre can look for another equivalently eligible worker. After payment, we will not silently substitute someone; any replacement needs your approval or an appropriate cancellation/refund option.

Ask Hyre is designed as a free-to-start helper with usage limits for general low-risk DIY questions. It is not a substitute for professional advice on dangerous tasks.

Columbus, Ohio is our initial focus. Enter your ZIP to prepare a request. Service coverage and actual availability are confirmed separately during the pilot.
